Rap is good. It's a form of self-expression to a predefined beat. Saying that "rap is not music" is not only inaccurate, but ignorant.

I hate rap its basically  people talking fast....its not evan singing.

Mmm.... I bet every one of you who says that can't rap for your life. If rap is really Retards attempting Poetry, and you can't even do it, doesn't that put you lower than retards?

I like rap. Sometimes I like the beats (Jay-Z), sometimes I like the lyrics (Sweatshop Union, Jin). I hated it until recently, when I actually listened closely to it rather than just going "rap sucks" and ignoring it like everyone else was.

Listen to De La Soul. He pwns. He's on 'Feel Good, Inc.' by Gorillaz.

Some rap is, but 80% of it is stuff like Ludacris's "Ho"

Quote:
 
[Chorus]
Hooooooooo (Ho)
Youza Hoooooo (Ho)
Youza Hoooooo (Ho)
I said that youza hooooo (Ho)
[Repeat 1x]

[Ludacris]
You doin ho activities
With ho tendencies
Hos are your friends, hoes are your enemies
With ho energy to do whacha do
Blew whacha blew
Screw whacha screw
Yall professional like DJ Clue, pullin on my coat tail
an why do you think you take a ho to a hotel?
Hotel everybody, even the mayor
Reach up in tha sky for tha hozone laya
Come on playa once a ho always
And hos never close they open like hallways
An heres a ho cake for you whole ho crew
an everybody wants some cuz hoes gotta eat too

[chorus x2]

[Ludacris]
Cant turn a ho into a housewife
Hos dont act right
Theres hos on a mission, an hoes on a crackpipe
Hey ho how ya doin, where ya been?
Prolly doin ho stuff cuz there you ho again
Its a ho wide world, that we livin in
feline, feminine, fantastical, women
Not all, just some
You ho who you are
Theres hoes in tha room, theres hoes in tha car
theres hoes on stage, theres hoes by tha bar
hos by near, an hos by far
Ho! (But can i getta ride?!)
NO! (Cmon, nigga why?!)
Cuz youza

[chorus 2x]

[Ludacris]
You gotta run in your pantyhos
Even your daddy knows
that you suckin down chocolate like daddy-o's
You hos are horrible, horrendous
On taxes ya'll writin off hos as dependents
I see tha ho risin
it aint surprisin
its just a hoasis
with ugly chicks faces
but hos dont feel so sad and blue
cuz most of us niggaz is hos too

[chorus x2]

(Ho)
Mutha****as im so tiired of yall niggaz always talkin
bout hos this, hos that, you tha mutha****in ho nigga
I wasnt no ho last night

(Pimp)
Ho, bring yo ***!

(Ho)
Ok, hold on



That's neither music, nor a form of self expression. Some is good, but the majority blows.

how is this not music? if it has a background and words, it is music. Also rap is good. Rap is all i listen to becuase men with earings in their tounges and black hair down to their shoulders doesnt appeal to me, also yelling into a microphone at the top of ur lungs and screaming "rock on" inst very appealing either.

Umm, see the thing is, it isn't. That's what you hear on the radio, and what MTV likes to exploit.

If you took the time to listen to some underground hip-hop, you'd find that rap is poetry.

I'm saying that is. I'm not saying underground stuff sucks. But nothing by Eminem, or 50 Cent, or any mainstream rappers could ever be considered self expression.

Why? Because they make the lyrics themselves?

Hell, I guess nothing is self expression then.
